Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1484

Joelle went back to school during the day and worked at the station at night. The difference now was she had a personal driver, so she didn't have to worry about safety.

Dante didn't tell anyone about her wound, so only Darius knew, and he found out by accident.

One night, Joelle went to work as usual. When she stepped outside, she didn't see the pink sports car. Dante hadn't told her anything, either, so she worried that something had happened to him.

She called him three or four times, but he didn't answer. Just as she started to feel really anxious, a familiar face approached her. It was someone she knew, but also someone who meant trouble.

"Darius. What are you doing here?" No one knew she worked there except Dante.

"He had errands to run, so I came instead."

Joelle suddenly felt something was wrong. How did Darius know Dante had been picking her up from work every day? How did he know Dante couldn't come today? Even she didn't know about it until now.

Even though she had a lot of questions, she didn't argue and got into Darius's black Maybach. She wanted to sit in the back seat, but he told her to sit in the front, so she did.

"Elle."

"He cares about you a lot then. But I want to know what you feel about him." Darius's eyes were intense, but his voice was calm.

Joelle remembered when she first started school, a boy wrote her a love letter and got beaten up for it. Was Darius...

She gulped and realized she was an adult now. It was okay if she started dating. "I always saw him as an older brother." That was how she truly felt.

Even though Dante always showed her a different side of himself or chased her constantly, she never took it seriously. Not only that, she always kept a good distance from him.
